The 4.1.83 sbf floating around is not a full system sbf. You need to flash 4.1.26 or 4.1.57 first.
I get an internal error message when trying to load 1.57

I suggest flashing 4.1.26 sbf, then OTA to 4.1.57, then OTA to 4.1.83.

Thanks the reason I was trying to do this was vecuase of phone glitches apps restarting games looping at start but fixed it with factory reset which I didn't know but it takes your phone back to factory and installs all the bloatware ect ect but it keeps the gingerblur theme installed keyboard, wallpaper, but prob need to load again to get all options. Good news is that my problems were all fixed

It's a fake that's why It has been floating around the net and they are all saying its fake.. Just get the 4.1.57 then update it to the .83 its no big deal..

Also, you don't unzip the sbf's. You should be flashing them with RSDLite.

I've been holding off updating. I'm a little confused, I've seen some posts saying its better to do the ota. Does it really matter which way you you update?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Well, I OTAd the update on a rooted 1.57 and had no problems. Just had to run afterupdate.bat again from gladroot after the update to retain root. I think the better question is do you want to be odexed or deodexed. Odexed is good if you want to keep your phone as close to stock as possible and you will get these files from the OTA update. Deodexed is better is you want to do editing, install more themes, etc.
The 1.83 sbf with deodexed files is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055851
and I don't need to tell you where the OTA update for odexed files is.
I have the 1.83 sbf already thanks though. I'm rooted and on grey blur with webtop mod, so I haven't gotten the ota notice.
I thought retain root doesn't work, so we have to use ginger break instead.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Last night I soft bricked my phone, flashed to 1.26, used gladroot to root, updated to 1.57, ran afterupdate to get root back, OTAd to 1.83, ran afterupdate again and am not running on 1.83 rooted. Gingerbreak scares me with the talk of it possibly formatting your internal sd.
Your not on 1.83? Or is that a typo?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'm running Gingerblur version 3.0. I just got the update message for 1.8.3. It will download but not install. I had this issue upgrading to the one before this. Last time I restored my phone back to stock to get it to install. Don't want to do that again. Is it something I'm overlooking?

Yep, I lose the contents of internal SD every time - but with backup, it's much quicker and easier than flashing back to 1.26 and working your way up again. Appears to have no adverse effects - worked fine to restore root after 1.5.7 and again after 1.8.3.
Of course YMMV.

I'm on 1.83 now, I was saying that I had a rooted 1.57 and was able to OTA update to 1.83 with no problems.
And I may end up trying gingerbreak in the future, but I was bricked anyway so I just rebuilt.
I was in the exact same situation. Had to install SBF 1.26 and repeated the hole process. I don't think there's other way to update

Once you have tried ota, rsd-ing might lead to hard brick.

These are some need to know questions before I or anyone else can assist you in your problem.
1) What version are you on!??? 1.2.6, 1.5.7, 1.8.3, 2.3.4??
2) Have you ever unlocked your bootloader?? <---- THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW!!!
IF YOU HAVE UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER THEN FLASHING A .SBF WILL RESULT IN A HARDBRICK.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER THEN THE ONLY WAY TO GET A FRESH INSTALL IS USING A .SBF

OK well this is gonna be easy,
Flash the 1.2.6 ATT US found HERE and upgrade via WiFi updater to 1.5.7 then 1.8.3 then to 2.3.4.
To use RSDlite (or for further details look HERE);
Charge to FULL battery <---- IMPORTANT
Start up the RSDlite program
Turn off phone, Remove SD-card, Remove SIM card and turn back on holding the power button and volume up key until it says "Starting RSD protocol support"
Plug your phone into the usb port and RSDlite should say "Status: Connected…"
Load the 1.2.6 SBF in the RSD and click start.
May take from 5-10 minutes Do NOT pull battery during this time or unplug until it says 100% complete
If you have any other questions please ask here or shoot me a message. Happy Flashing!!
Thx all of you guys, i will try it tonight(in hong kong right [email protected]@so hot!) Hope will be success to 4.5.91!!

That I cannot be a 100% on as I used to install a fresh SBF before an upgrade. But now that we have custom ROM's I do not worry about those things anymore
I would assume yes, just to be on the safe side, and if you do change the boot animation just backup the original so if you do have problems upgrading OTA then you can simply put it back.
Don't forget to hit the Thanks button!
I tried to google search this but found nothing. My phone is ROM'ed atm but their hasent been a update for it in a few months. So i want to put a more updated ROM and also because every 12 hours my phone ask me to upgrade to gingerbread. Now the question is in order to add a new ROM can i just install it over the old ROM or do i need to uninstall it. If i need to uninstall it how do i do so? just wipe the phone? Also sorry if this is in the wrong spot cant ask this question in the developer part.
Sbf to 2.3.3 if you want to get anothr rom. Dont ota for an update

So your saying just install gingerbread, root the phone again and then rom it? So its safe to just install gingerbread without wiping the phone? I have no idea what sbf or ota means so im kinda lost.

Oh sweet thanks ill try this out when i get out of class tonight.
ok so i installed rsd lite and got my phone to stock gingerbread. I rooted with 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4 and that was ok. I installed bootstrap and when i click install recovery it says Install Failure /data/data/com.tenfar,a4.recovery/files/surunner.sh (Permission denied). What does this mean? I know im rooted since titanium backup is working and superuser is asking permission for stuff.

You don't use RSD, its not a SBF, you download it to your phone, rename it to "update.zip", go into recovery and select "Apply SDCARD:update.zip" or "Apply SDINTERNAL:update.zip" depending on where you saved it. Then you select reboot, and your done!

Hi,
Could someone please help me? I'm trying to get back to full stock (well as close to it as possible) to either eliminate my problem or send back under warranty...my problem is detailed in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500220&page=3# ...basically my Atrix just will mot stop randomly rebooting/locking up with the screen off (needing a batter pull).
I have tried running RSDLite 5.6 in exactly the same way I unlocked the bootloader but nothing seemed to happen...RSDLite went all the way to 100% but all my phone did was reboot normally. Weird thing was, I didn't get a reboot for nearly 24 hours....and then they started again, quite regularly. Did I do something wrong? I though that SBFing it through RSD would just reflash completely back to stock.
Also, in case I cannot get rid of this REALLY annoying problem, I want to hide the 'unlocked' text at boot ...how would I go about doing that?
Thanks,
Mark

If you're trying to go back to stock then you have to find the official SBF. It sounds like you're using the same files that you used to unlock it in the first place.

Use a Fruitcake or you will brick
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Please don't spread misinformation. Using RSD does not automatically result in a brick. I have used it numerous times flashing Official (AT&T) SBF builds and I am still using the same phone.
With that said, it is not recommended to use RSD (which I agree) but it can be used with caution and some knowledge/research in tow.
One precaution, do not flash previous builds (SBF).

If you pulled the files form my site you need to use 7-zip. Rezipping them in a standard zip format is on the list but it will make the files larger.
Thanks guys for the help, I have my bootloader unlocked after several tries. Only problem now is that most of the pictures on my sd card are now corrupted. Has anyone experience this too? I was under the impression that this process wouldn't affect my data while the card was still mounted so I didn't consider going through the trouble of backing up.

This all happened while I was trying to flash the MIUI rom. Went through the configuration and when it said I was done my phone never recovered from the boot image screen. So I tried flashing a few more times and even picked a different zip file all to no avail. Kept getting an "error while flashing boot image" so I decided to do an advanced restore. When it was all said and done my phone came back in but most of the data on my sd card was corrupted. Hopefully I will be able to recover my pics and stuff...
